It has surpassed oil, which was once at the same level of popularity. Oil heating still exists in homes today; you might have oil powering your boiler or furnace right now. However, oil has declined in popularity for a number of good reasons. We\u2019ll go over the main benefits you\u2019ll get if you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carneyphc.com\/heating\/oil-to-gas-conversion\">change from oil to natural gas<\/a> in your house.<\/p>\n<p>Carney Plumbing Heating &amp; Cooling specializes in converting homes from oil to natural gas. Although this can be a large task, if you put it in the hands of professionals with years of experience, you should have few problems making the switch. You\u2019ll have better heating in Hatfield, PA with a proper oil-to-natural gas conversion.<\/p>\n<h3>Why natural gas is superior to oil<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>It\u2019s domestically produced.<\/b> The U.S. gets the majority of its oil from overseas, while natural gas is primarily a domestic product. If you\u2019re concerned about reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil, then natural gas is a good way to go.<\/li>\n<li><b>It\u2019s more convenient.<\/b> As natural gas becomes the more popular option, it also becomes easier to obtain. Oil and propane must be delivered to your home, but natural gas comes to you through pipes. This means you don\u2019t have to worry about forgetting to schedule delivery of oil and finding out too late that you don\u2019t have sufficient fuel for your heating system.<\/li>\n<li><b>It\u2019s more efficient.<\/b> Oil is more wasteful when it burns, since it doesn\u2019t burn as completely as natural gas. You get more energy from natural gas than from an equal amount of oil, and that means savings on your energy bills. To give you a specific example, in 2011 the federal Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that the average U.S. homeowner paid $732 to heat their homes with gas during the winter, while homeowners using oil paid $2,535!<\/li>\n<li><b>It can get you a rebate.<\/b> Some utility companies, to encourage the switch from oil to gas, offer rebates to residents who decide to make the conversion. These rebates can range up to $400, still more savings to go along with a more efficient fuel source.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you still use oil to heat your home, we hope we\u2019ve given you something to think about. Making the conversion won\u2019t have to be a headache if you hire experts who have done the job many times before.
